8:30 And now, Deal or No Deal! I can't decide which is more suspenseful, some chick looking for a million dollars in a silver brief case guided only by Howie Mandel or the final days of the US election. But seriously, that commercial was some of the best TV I've watched on a Wednesday night. But only since they moved America's Next Top Model to Thursdays.
8:29 I feel like the screen's going to encourage me to send in my vote via text message, a la Dancing with the Stars.
8:27 The commercial has gone live to a large stadium that is probably built from bundled $100-bills the campaign has left with six days left in the campaign.
8:24 Obama as Commander in Chief is getting a shout out from a retired Brigadier General. The music is building to a crescendo. The montage of photos is increasingly touching. And now we're live!
8:22 Mark Dowell is a working class hero facing tough times. They're cramming more characters in this thing than an episode of Heroes.
8:21 I feel like "Dick Lugar" is some sort of Democratic code word. The man gets more shout outs than Joe the Plumber.
8:19 Michelle says her husband read all of the Harry Potter books to his daughter. I think this commercial is giving me diabetes.
8:18 Losing his mother made Obama realize that "life sure is short and you better seize the moment." And that health insurance sucks.
8:16 Obama: I did not know my Muslim father. And here are some pictures of my white mother.
8:15 The informercial is promising "Live Obama later in the program." I wonder if he'll be in that same office. Or maybe sitting on the lap of the Lincoln Memorial.
8:13 Obama's People number three is a Latino family. There hasn't been this much ethnic diversity in prime time since that season of Survivor that pitted tribes against one another by race.
8:11 Debate flashback! I hope they show the part where John McCain brought up that crazy unlicensed plumber.
8:10 Is it just me, or does Obama look a tad rough? Maybe the light just isn't very flattering in the fake wooden Oval Office.
8:08 The second installment of Obama's People features an Ohio couple who built their own house, rely on prescription medications and are still working at 72.
8:07 A while lady reminds viewers that Obama has Kansas roots. And that's not in Indonesia, people.
8:05 First we had his Closing Argument. Now we have Obama's People. Number one is a lady who has to ration her family's snacks. You need to spread those snacks around, girl.
8:01 Whose office is Barack Obama standing in? It looks like someone rebuilt the Oval Office in a log cabin.
